NVT Phybridge, EC10,10 Port Unmanaged Switch, Ethernet/PoE over Coax

The plug and play EC10 (Coax Leveraged Ethernet Extended Reach) unmanaged switch makes the modernization to IP devices (IoT) simple, secure and cost-effective. When paired with the EC Adapters, this powerful enterprise-grade switch delivers fast Ethernet and PoE+ over Coax cable with up to 3,000ft (915m) reach – that’s 10Xs the reach of standard Ethernet switches.

With the EC10, customers are taking full advantage of Modern LAN principles, protecting existing infrastructure assets, and eliminating any need to rip/replace the established Coax cabling. The EC10 unmanaged switch optimizes network design with advanced interoperability and easy integration into the overall LAN creating a secure, robust path for IP endpoints.

• Accelerate your return on investment by reducing infrastructure costs .
• Simplify your IP modernization, collapsing planning and deployment time.
• Eliminate infrastructure barriers, risks, disruption, and costs.
• Create a robust plug-and-play IP platform that is easy to deploy and manage.
• Be environmentally responsible during your IP upgrades.

Speed, Reach and Power

EC10 delivers 100Mbps symmetrical (full duplex) and PoE+ (30W) over Coax with 3,000ft (915m) reach, providing substantial power to support bandwidth demanding IP endpoints easily and reliably.

Simple Deployment

EC10 comes preconfigured and ready to deploy, making modernization to IP quick and efficient in organizations of every size. Modernizing multiple sites is greatly simplified with a repeatable, predictable and scalable deployment methodology across every location.

Adapters – EC Adapter Options

There are three media converter options available to pair with the CLEER family of switches to extend PoE over Coax. The EC-Link and EC Link+ are single endpoint solutions and the EC4 enables 4 IP endpoints from a single long run Coax cable.

EC-Link – Maximum 30W, delivered on 2-pairs (spare pairs), Local power option, Does not negotiate power requirements with IP device, Device must be IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant

Ec-Link+ – Maximum 50W (If locally powered and 30W if power provided from switch) delivered on 4 pairs, Local power option, Adapter is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant and will negotiate power requirements with IP device

EC4 – Maximum 50W, delivered on 4 pairs (local power required), Local power option to support greater power delivery to IP devices, Does not negotiate power requirements with IP device, Devices must be IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant
